right currently i have an AMD 6000+ Oc'd, i'm wanting to upgrade to a 9950, from what i'm aware of my motherboard doesnt fully support quad core (AM2+) because the FSB of the board is too low or something.
also my ram is only pc2-6400, and i won't be upgrading my RAM yet.
what im asking for is your opinion of is it worth upgrading to quad core on my current setup (mobo and ram combo) or would you upgrade the ram first or mobo first.
also can you tell how to work it out? i know the 9950 has a FSB of 2000mhz which i think you divide by two...which means to fully take advantage of all the CPU you need a 1066mhz DDR2 ram (pc2-8500)
my motherboard only has an FSB of 1000Mhz, (2.0GT/s)
here's a link to my MOBO: http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/prod...de=MBA-ALNF6PV
here's a link to the CPU: http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/prod...=CPA-AP995GH-B
thanks in advance
ps. is there some kind of calculation to see how fast i'd be getting? to see if its actually a benefit over the 3.3x2 i have at the moment.
